Happy Wednesday, I posted this under show and tell, but please feel free to move it wherever you deem fit. 20-turn spin with engine out and windmill-self-restart. Sewanee, Tennessee.
Cheers

I've never done a spin in 55 years and after watching your video, I'm never going to do one, lol.

N961EA

Austin

At my age, I would throw up after 3 turns!!

I'd be interested in the type of plane you were flying. Was this required training for your ATP?

N961EA

Cessna 150 aerobat, “wilbur”. A carbon copy “orville” that was flown by Bill Kershner is at the Smithonian museum (see attached).
No, it was a personal requirement before I jump in the right seat with students determined to end my life. LOL Did all kinds of aerobatics and upset training as well. Best investment ever.

Cool. Bill Kerschner was my hero and mentor. Though I did not personally know him, I devoured his books.

Regards,

Mike

Sorry Mr. KERSHNER for not spelling your name correctly! He was a fantastic illustrator. But having grown up and learning to fly in the northeastern states, I could never quite understand the landscape shown in his maneuver illustrations! I could never find a road straight enough to do more than one or two S turns across a road! It all made sense, and made me laugh, when I moved to Illinois.

N961EA

Hahahah he did S turns on waves in the pacific at night and with no lights
